What is special about Vixen condoms?
For years condoms have mostly been packaged to mainly appeal to men. But women actually buy a significant proportion of condoms sold, so the question arose "Why doesn't someone produce a male condom that appeals to the female buyer?".
So Vixen was born, as a collaboration between Cottons and a charity, Marie Stopes International.
Vixen is available in stunning packaging, either in a very chic 3 pack in a tin (which can fit discreetly in handbags), or in a 12 pack box.
And there's another great thing about Vixen, every pack sold leads to a donation to a vital charitable cause that raises money for women in indigenous and developing world communities. See www.vixencondoms.com.au or www.mariestopes.org.au for more details.
How are Vixen condoms made?
Vixen condoms are produced from natural rubber latex and are made under strict quality control systems in accord with TGO 61 and ISO 4074:2002.
